Is Family Lantern a home care provider?+
Family Lantern is a service that pairs you with a home care or home health provider that specializes in the services you need. Every provider we work with is vetted by Family Lantern and has passed a background check before it can contact a family. We do not employ caregivers ourselves, so ask each provider how it screens and trains the caregivers it sends. We do not provide care ourselves. Services, availability, pricing, and eligibility are determined by each provider.
What local resource can families in Clarence use while comparing care?+
The Erie County Department of Senior Services is the county-level aging-services resource for Erie County. It can be a separate place to ask about public aging programs while you compare private home care or home health providers.
